Description

Description:

There is a permission missing in the permissions page. There should be a permission called "view-archived-rooms" which would allow only users with that permission to see archived rooms.

Expected behavior:

If a user doesnt have "view-archived-rooms" then it shouldnt see archived rooms.

Actual behavior:

There isn't that permission
